Chocolate-Coconut Candy Bars

3/4 cup dark chocolate 73%
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon agave nectar (for a sweeter filling, use 2 tablespoons)

  1. Melt chocolate in a small pan over very low heat; you can use a double boiler if you wish and temper the chocolate.
  2. Using a small paint brush, coat the bottom and sides of a candy mold with the chocolate.
  3. Place mold in freezer for 10 minutes to let chocolate harden.
  4. In a small bowl, combine shredded coconut, coconut oil, and agave.
  5. Remove mold from freezer. Fill chocolate lined molds with coconut mixture.
  6. Paint chocolate over coconut mixture to cover bars.
  7. Place in freezer for 10 minutes to harden.
  8. Remove from freezer, turn mold upside down, and pop mounds out of mold
Makes about 9 chocolate bars (depending on your candy mold).
